Hello everyone,

New user trying to migrate from pfsense (4 years setup with many tweaks)

I am used to have telegram notifications whatever happens to my networks.
New device, gw down etc.

Trying to find something at opnsense but all based to monit and custom setup and and and.

Is it so difficult to integrate to telegram plugin that pfsense has? Or something equivalent.

Thanks in advance.

There is a Telegram plugin for pf? Where?
Embedded at the pf.
System - advanced - notifications

Do you have a screenshot available please?
I was always thinking about a plugin to add predefined actions to monit

here it is

thanks and hope for something


And where do you define which messages should go to this group?

There is no option. Everything happens to fw, connectivity etc...you have a notification

I would like to +1 this request. Recently migrated from pfSense to OPNsense and really like OPNsense a lot. But Monitoring is one of the features that works much easier and more intuitive in pfSense.

An easy way to setup e-mail and Telegram notifications would be very much appreciated. Monit seems extremely versatile, but it is difficult to understand as a new user. E.g. I would like to be notified if someone succesfully connects to Wireguard. Can't figure it out (yet).

Totally agree with this....still using old install of pfsense due to notifications

Another +1 for Telegram notifications.

People do not watch their email (unless sitting at a desk in their work environment) like the once did 15 years ago.  I use Telegram nearly exclusively for my network and server notifications, be it those generated by OS itself, applications running on servers, or even in my self generated bash scripts.  I use two different Telegram bots (one for system stuff, one for applications) that have different notification tones.  This is much more useful, as I can immediately know which are notifying me even before I take my phone out of my pocket.  With email, you get one ding, be it from your system or the third email about sales at Best Buy.

Wonder if this still works: https://github.com/matriphe/monit2telegram

Anyone tried it?
There is nginx I think at opnsense. I have read somewhere that it is difficult to implement but it is working

In general i am saying. It's almost 10 days since i have proposed it.
I am not asking for implementing...just for discussion
